Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ brings a bigger 13.1-inch screen, IP68 protection, an included S Pen, and a long-lasting 10,090mAh battery to the mid-range. Samsung Kenya lists it at KES 90,000 with a 24-month warranty and availability in Blue, Grey, and Silver. This piece breaks down confirmed specs, real-world use cases, and where it fits in Samsung’s lineup.

Display and pen workflow
The 13.1-inch panel is a clear uptick from the S9 FE+’s 12.4 inches, offering more canvas for split-screen work, spreadsheets, or timelines. It runs at up to 90Hz with HBM up to 800 nits, which helps outdoors, though this is still LCD, not AMOLED.
The bundled S Pen is pressure-sensitive and low-latency. Samsung Notes adds Solve Math and Handwriting Help, and the tablet supports Circle to Search, Object Eraser, Best Face, and Auto Trim for quick edits and research. The S Pen lacks Bluetooth remote features, which keeps costs down without losing core inking.
Performance, battery, and longevity
Exynos 1580 is built for everyday multitasking, note-taking, and light creative work. You can spec up to 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and still add up to 2TB via microSD, which makes the FE+ friendlier for offline media or project files than many rivals.
The 10,090mAh battery is rated for up to 21 hours of video playback, with 45W charging when you need a top-up. Independent testing has praised battery life as a standout.
On updates, Samsung’s newest devices headline with up to seven years of software coverage.
Ecosystem tricks and real-world use
Quick Share moves large files between Galaxy devices. Call and text continuity lets you respond from the tablet. Second Screen turns the Tab into an extra display for your PC. These are the small things that change how you work during travel weeks or home-office days.
For students, the combination of a roomy display, inking, offline storage, and battery endurance makes this a strong lecture-to-library machine. For creators, it is a sketch-and-rough-cut slate rather than a full render box. For consultants or field workers, IP68, weight of about 664g on Wi-Fi, and 6.0mm.
Price and availability in Kenya
Samsung Kenya’s guidance sets the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ at KES 90,000 at authorized retailers, offered in Blue, Grey, and Silver. Some local partners also advertise a 24-month warranty on Galaxy tablets, and US listings state a 2-year manufacturer warranty for the FE+. Warranty specifics can vary by market, so check your purchase channel.
Early verdict
You are getting the biggest FE display yet, S Pen in the box, IP68, massive battery life, and Samsung’s growing AI tools. You are not getting AMOLED or 120Hz, and the pen lacks Bluetooth remote tricks. If you can live with LCD and 90Hz, this is a pragmatic work-and-study tablet that benefits from Samsung’s long-support stance and ecosystem glue. Independent reviews back up the battery claims and day-to-day usability.
